Emad
Alayoubi

Emad Alayoubi is a Los Angeles-based actor, former professional football player, and the creator of Whiskey Talks. Born and raised in Chicago, he’s proud of his roots and loves everything about the city.

After his football career, Emad moved into broadcasting as a radio host before stepping in front of the camera. His screen credits include HBO’s Lanterns and Ballers, Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, USA Network’s Graceland, and the upcoming feature Deadly Mistake.

He created Whiskey Talks — a reality series and podcast built on real, unfiltered conversation: the wins, the losses, and the lessons. No scripts. No staged version. Just the real L.A.

Off camera, family comes first — he’s a proud father to his son — and he’s still Chicago through and through — especially on Bears Sundays.
